Pick: Western Michigan

Thursday, November 28th
Ole Miss (4-7; 2-5) at Mississippi State (5-6; 2-5)- 8:00, ESPN: Egg Bowl! The Bulldogs need this game to get bowl eligible, but the Rebels have been the better team over the past few weeks and I think they play spoiler here and get the win.
Pick: Ole Miss

Friday, November 29th
Texas Tech (4-7; 2-7) at Texas (6-5; 4-4)- 12:00, FOX: Both of these teams have failed to live up to expectations, but I think that the Longhorns want to avoid a losing season.
Pick: Texas

(24) Virginia Tech (8-3; 5-2) at Virginia (8-3; 5-2)- 12:00, ABC: This fun rivalry this time is for the right to play Clemson in the ACC title game. I think the Wahoos are due to come through in this rivalry and I think Bryce Perkins has a big game to lead them to a win.

(19) Cincinnati (10-1; 7-0) at (18) Memphis (10-1; 6-1)- 3:30, ABC: These are the best two teams in this conference and the point spread suggests the Tigers will win this comfortably since the Bearcats know they'll be in the conference title game. I do think the Tigers win it, but the Bearcats will keep it within single digits.
Pick: Memphis

Pick: Washington

West Virginia (4-7; 2-6) at TCU (5-6; 3-5)- 4:15, ESPN: The Horned Frogs need this one to become bowl eligible and I believe they get it done, but it won't be easy against an improved Mounatineers defense.

Pick: UCF

Saturday, November 30th
(1) Ohio State (11-0; 8-0) at (13) Michigan (9-2; 6-2)- 12:00, FOX: The Game is always a fun rivalry. Justin Fields and Chase Young will be the best players on the field on the respective sides of the ball and I think it will be another domination from the Buckeyes.
Pick: Ohio State

(3) Clemson (11-0; 8-0) at South Carolina (4-7; 3-5)- 12:00, ESPN: This screams domination by Trevor Lawrence and Company.

Pick: Nevada

(5) Alabama (10-1; 7-1) at (15) Auburn (8-3; 4-3)- 3:30, CBS: Iron Bowl! Always one of the best rivalry games of the season. Nothing will ever beat this ending, but I do think with the injury to Tua Tagovailoa opens it up for the Tigers to spoil any hope the Tide have of sneaking into the College Football Playoff. Tigers win it for the second time in three seasons.
Pick: Auburn

Rutgers (2-9; 0-8) at (10) Penn State (9-2; 6-2)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Penn State

(12) Wisconsin (9-2; 6-2) at (9) Minnesota (10-1; 7-1)- 3:30, ABC: This is a big one for the rights to get to the Big-10 Championship game to face the Ohio State Buckeyes. GameDay is here for this one as well as they cross another school off the list of schools they have not visited. The Gophers are a surprising under dog in this game and I like how this offense led by Tanner Morgan is rolling. Give me the Gophers to win it to take on the Buckeyes.
Pick: Minnesota 

(9) Baylor (10-1; 7-1) at Kansas (2-9; 1-7)- 3:30, ESPN
Pick: Baylor

Connecticut (2-9; 0-7) at Temple (7-4; 4-3)- 3:30, CBSSN

Pick: Duke

Maryland (3-8; 1-7) at Michigan State (5-6; 3-5)- 3:30, FS1: Sparty needs this to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll get it.
Pick: Michigan State

Oregon State (5-6; 4-4) at (12) Oregon (9-2; 7-1)- 4:00, Pac-12: This is going to be a much closer game than people expect.
Pick: Oregon

(16) Notre Dame (9-2) at Stanford (4-7; 3-6)- 4:00, FOX: This would normally be a sexy game, but not this season. The Irish should win this comfortably.

Pick: SMU

Vanderbilt (3-8; 1-6) at Tennessee (6-5; 4-3)- 4:00, SECN

Pick: Kansas State

Navy (8-2; 6-1) at Houston (4-7; 2-5)- 7:00, ESPN2
Pick: Navy

North Carolina (5-6; 3-4) at NC State (4-7; 1-6)- 7:00, ACCN: The Tar Heels need this one to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll beat their in-state rivals.
Pick: North Carolina

Colorado (5-6; 3-5) at (6) Utah (10-1; 7-1)- 7:30, ABC: The Utes are under some pressure to go and get some style points to show the committee they are playoff worthy.
Pick: Utah

Florida State (6-5; 4-4) at (11) Florida (9-2; 6-2)- 7:30, SECN: This is another rivalry game I expect it to be a lot closer than the point spread suggests.
Pick: Florida

Pick: Louisiana

(7) Oklahoma (10-1; 7-1) at (21) Oklahoma State (8-3; 5-3)- 8:00, FOX: If the Cowboys quarterback wasn't injured, I would have picked them to win outright. I do think Sam Hubbard helps keep it close, but Jalen Hurts and company will win it.
Pick: Oklahoma

BYU (7-4) at San Diego State (8-3; 5-3)- 10:00, CBSSN
Pick: San Diego State

Arizona (4-7; 2-6) at Arizona State (6-5; 3-5)- 10:30, ESPN: I think there is letdown potential for the Sun Devils after the big upset win, but I think they get the win here at home in a close one.
Pick: Arizona State

California (6-5; 3-5) at UCLA (4-7; 4-4)- 10:30, FS1
Pick: UCLA

Fresno State (4-7; 2-5) at San Jose State (4-7; 1-6)- 10:30, ESPN2
Pick: San Jose State

Army (5-6) at Hawaii (8-4; 5-3)- 11:59, CBSSN: I think the Rainbow Warriors get caught peaking ahead here as the Black Knights clinch a bowl berth.
Pick: Army
